After flashing I did not restore anything, installed Navicore from the original SD card and it
works without any problem. So try to install the deb-file from the card on a freshly flashed N800.

Greetings:

Ok I have reflashed with the new firmware.
I'm trying to refresh the application manager folder.
So that I can install Python 2.5
It hangs on the downloading mode.

Possible Problem: Linksys B router, application manager hangs when
downloading software. WEP enabled

Possible Solution: When I am at a internet cafe, Linksys G router,
WEP Disabled, Software download runs perfectly.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Regards Robert

Install?
Vista.deb
0 kB

I thought maybe this was a bad backup, so I reflashed it with the new OS image without any backup... and I get
"Unable to install. Installation file corrupted" But on the last previous OS it was just fine. Anyone else having problems installing downloaded files?

Same here, is a great theme hopefully the creator can fix this with some ease.

To All,

In this post please post the problems you encounter with the new firmware 4.2007.26-8 and what you did to fix it.
That way we can all benefit of one post instead of having to search arround.

Thank You.

a) Skype is displaying times in GMT -- even though my local time and city are set correctly on my tablet. Some others have observed that the skypeout credit was being displayed in euros... this can actually be changed by setting your personal profile appropiately at www.skype.com.

b) Some reported problems with accessing secure web pages with Opera perhaps are due to the fact that by default Opera comes with support for SSL v2 disabled. You have to enable it via the preferences menus.

c) The Opera browser continues to exhibit shortcomings in handling Web 2.0 applications such as the Google apps... we truly need a more advanced version of Opera -- I wonder if Nokia can deliver on that.

d) Flash v9. While I can get YouTube and NYTimes video to play ok... the CNN web site videos do not seem to play at all.

Problem: internet connection fails after backup (e.g. application manager is not updating, ...)
Remark: previously privoxy installed --> switching off/back proxy setting doesn't work
Solution: delete and recreate the internet connection

Re: Official: 4.2007.26-8 Firmware Problems & Fixes

problem: can't seem to get cifs to work after update
solution: not so far

Re: Official: 4.2007.26-8 Firmware Problems & Fixes

@Clay: Fanoush's cifs.ko that I found somewhere on the Interweb still works fine for me after the upgrade.

Greetings:

Problem confirmed: Downloading software from a Linksys B, WEP enabled,
Application manager hangs.
Downloading software from a Linksys G, WEP disabled,
Application manager works fine.

Problem: I still can not install Python 2.5. Missing files message
I've been to every site you can find Python, no luck.
Its either Python is not compatible with the new firmware, or
the new firmware has to be corrected.

I am going to wait this week for Nokia to straight out these issues.

I didn't buy a N800 for having headaches.

Regards Robert

Robert;
I had no trouble installing python 2.5, its not the ubdate. The gods must be smiling on me, I havn't had any problems at all with the new firmware... (He says as his n800 bursts into flames...) ;)
